Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kidsStraight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditchThis car I'm driving can't drive me fast enoughThirty miles of potholed roads got me shaking like a drunk

Straight back far away a long ways from hereJust south of nowhereStatic on the radio gave out five miles backAnd I'm singing some old marshalls song just for laughs

My head aches from cigarettes my eyes are edged with sleepMeet out past the muddy ditch beneath the palos verdes treesStraight back far away a long ways from hereJust south of nowhere

Monday morning takes me back to where I have to beFull of half asses-promises this shit just ain't for meMeet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kidsStraight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
